In an agreement brokered by European Union representatives, 13 of the besieged, described by Israeli authorities as "senior terrorists," were flown to Cyprus, where they will remain until other arrangements are made for their exile. As a further 26 survivors of the siege were taken to Gaza, Israel withdrew all its troops from Bethlehem. Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said that he expected a "careful and measured" military response to a suicide bombing earlier...
...trove of computer discs, notebooks and phone numbers discovered in the safe house should help investigators trace Zubaydah's web. A senior U.S. intelligence official says the take amounts to 10,000 pages of material. Most of this cache was flown back to the U.S. for analysis. "We know for certain that Abu Zubaydah was planning future terrorist attacks," this official said.

...possibly some Algerians. Washington will not say what al-Qaeda is doing there, but stresses they are neither stragglers from Afghanistan, nor there by accident. They are in the valley with ill intent. Some have arrived since the collapse of the Taliban. Others came earlier and may have simply flown into the capital on regular flights, thanks to corrupt government ministers. As a result of the U.S. announcement about al-Qaeda in the Pankisi - which came as something of a surprise, said Defense Minister David Tevzadze in an interview - the first of up to 200 U.S. trainers will be arriving...
